eneWeek's 10 iPhone IT Admin Applicationshttp://www.iphonelife.com/blog/97/eweeks-10-iphone-it-admin-applications
<p><img width="324" height="462" alt="" src="http://static.iphonelife.com/sites/iphonelife.com/files/u97/whoispix.JPG" />Recently, <a href="http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Enterprise-Applications/10-iPhone-Apps-for-IT-Administrators-389944/?kc=EWKNLEDP04162009A">eWeek</a> posted a handy round-up of 10 iPhone IT administration utilities. As it happens, I have to do a fair amount of sys admin work and was looking for just such a list. Only 2 of these apps are gratis (an SSH&nbsp;terminal app and flashlight), but most of them are under 10 bucks. I&nbsp;wish someone could point me to a consolidated set of good iPhone/Touch network admin tools, like the excellent <a href="http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html">vxUtils</a> for WinMo (which were free, by the way). The &quot;network ping&quot; app mentioned in the eWeek round-up has only a few of the tools vxUtil has. I&nbsp;have to ask&nbsp;why I should pay a dollar for a subnet calculator, when I&nbsp;can <a href="http://www.subnet-calculator.com">browse</a> to one for free? Same goes for <a href="http://whois.net">whois</a> domain lookup?</p>
<p>The list includes:</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://www.msimplicity.com/na_itunesclick.html">Network Admin</a>- A $5.99 database app that stores your network information. Looks like it can't do discovery however, so not sure who would take the time to hand jam in all this information in yet another database.</p>

<p>4. <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=cVSqBmr1gKQ&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewSoftware%253Fid%253D286623227%2526mt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30">TouchTerm</a>- Free SSH terminal app.&nbsp; <em>[this appears to have changed to $0.99 -ed]</em></p>

<p>6. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=284406091">Mobile Studio</a>- File transfer and managament for $1.99</p>

<p>9. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=286470485%2526mt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30">Jaadu</a>- Pricy ($24.99) VNC client.</p>
